Creating a new and innovative University building that must also be cost-effective, safe, functional, flexible and meet the needs of hundreds
of students? It’s not as easy as it looks. Or is it? By using a combination of loadbearing concrete and precast concrete flooring, Lynchburg University was able to build Westover Hall; the university’s largest building, which not only fits seamlessly and beautifully into the rolling hills of Central Virginia, but also offers unmatched cost-savings, strength and durability to provide a lasting education.
01. A Cost-Effective Solution.
Loadbearing block and precast plank flooring is a very cost-effective system that goes up quickly, easily and efficiently. It saves time and money during the construction process, but also saves money down the road with fewer maintenance costs.
02. Strong and durable.
Concrete masonry can withstand the constant wear and tear of students living in the building. But it’s also unparalleled when it comes to withstanding extreme weather events and fires. The strong, durable materials save money; and also save lives.
03. Designed for students, by students.
Students provided input on the design to help make it flexible, collaborative and accessible. At nearly 90,000 square feet, the four-story building features 140 bedrooms, four balconies, a rooftop terrace, classrooms, and faculty offices.
